Autistic Teen's Hoop Dreams Come True - 20 Points in 3 Minutes

Senior Jason McElwain had been the manager of the varsity basketball team of Greece Athena High School in Rochester, N.Y. McElwain, who's autistic, was added to the roster by coach Jim Johnson so he could be given a jersey and get to sit on the bench in the team's last game of the year.
With Greece Athena up by double-digits with four minutes go to, the coach decided to put him in the game.
McElwain missed his first two shots, but then sank six three-pointers and another shot for a total of 20 points in three minutes.

How great to see a "capability" rather than a "disability".
What a tear jerker!
